Apparently the only "stupid" people here might be the ones who obviously know very little about computers, chat rooms, blogs, and IM's. Oh.. sorry, let me break that down for the slow, non-proficient PC users here... IM means instant messengers. If you are looking to pick a fight.. why do it in a blog? Please, try being a little less childish.

Vickiej40 - stop using "freedon of speech" as an excuse for stupidity. I understand that chances are you've been exposed to stupdity most of your life, but how about showing that you are not as stupid as you appear. No, you don't have to wear the same hat as everyone else, but the "stupid" hat does not look good on anyone....
